We are building communities and want to have fair play as the benchmark.
What about creating a 2 tiered friends list? One being trade contact, the other trusted friends?
Or how about a pop-up notice saying a trade was unsolicited and not from the board? Then at least we could stop and take a second look at it.
I am not saying they should be banned for it since it technically is not against the rules. Some of us have no problem putting these people out in chat and on the forums. I for one will post in chat repeatedly to inform others when I hear there is a scammer operating. Not my favorite thing to do, as it annoys people who don't care about this issue.
Finally, barring any official sanction of this type of behavior, all we can do is keep our friend list cleared out and decline all unsolicited friend requests.
